Usually when I look out the kitchen window I see the usual assortment of birds at the feeder, squirrels raiding the feeder, or maybe a fox or deer ambling through the woods. Just now I saw something unusual. Wild turkeys. They stayed long enough for me to get a few blurry photos through the window.

I tried to get outside for some better shots, but as soon as they heard the door open (and I was trying very hard to be quiet) they spooked and headed farther back into the woods. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen wild turkeys here, but I haven’t seen any for at least 2 years.

Also, an Indigo Bunting visited the bird feeder early this morning. That’s a first!
